Congress using Channi as a ‘night watchman’, says AAP
The Hindu
It will use Punjab CM’s name only to woo the votes of the SC community, it says
A day after Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s brother Manohar Singh was denied ticket by the Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday accused the Congress of using Mr. Channi — a Dalit — only to woo the votes of the Scheduled Castes community.
The party alleged that the Congress is using Mr. Channi as a “night watchman”.
AAP’s Punjab affairs co-in-charge Raghav Chadha said the Congress has given tickets to family members and relatives of all its big leaders in the first list. “..But they have cut the ticket of Chief Minister Channi’s brother. This proves that the Congress will ‘use and throw’ Channi for the votes of the SC community,” he said here.
